地层损害

兼容性岩心驱替研究探索致密油藏中的地层损害

本文的作者介绍了一项研究结果,该研究检查了阿布扎比陆上油田致密储层中钻井液造成的地层损害机制。

作者研究了阿布扎比几个陆上油田致密储层中钻井液造成的地层损害机制。进行了三个阶段的相容性岩心驱替,以确定提高碳氢化合物采收率的潜力,并检查重新配制或替代的钻井泥浆和处理液。致密储层岩心上的相容性岩心驱,以及高分辨率量化和可视化,确定了破坏机制,并有助于确定改善碳氢化合物采收率和处理液选择的潜力。

介绍

该运营商检查了阿联酋油田的钻井泥浆性能,包括 Bab、Rumaitha、Qusahwira、Sahil 和 Mender。在高渗透率区域,结果似乎不错,但在低渗透率区域则不然。

Compatibility Coreflood Studies Explore Formation Damage in Tight Reservoirs

The authors of this paper present results of a study that examined formation-damage mechanisms caused by drilling fluids in tight reservoirs in onshore oil fields in Abu Dhabi.

The authors examine formation-damage mechanisms caused by drilling fluids in tight reservoirs in several onshore Abu Dhabi oil fields. Three phases of compatibility corefloods were performed to identify the potential of improving hydrocarbon recovery and examine reformulated or alternate drilling muds and treatment fluids. The compatibility corefloods on tight reservoir cores, along with high-resolution quantifications and visualizations, identified damaging mechanisms and helped identify potential to improve hydrocarbon recovery and treatment-fluid options.

Introduction

The operator examined drilling-mud performance for UAE fields including Bab, Rumaitha, Qusahwira, Sahil, and Mender. Results appeared to be good in high-permeability zones but not in lower‑permeability zones.
